I having trouble removing the gear select rod from the tranny.Do I have to remove thge tranny form the car to remove it as it is hitting the chasis rail.
Also looking for the size of the hex driver size and type to removethe valve assembly.

you're not taking the whole selector shaft out are you? if you are, that's gonna have to have the box out. and if you're going that far into it, you may as well recon the thing while you're there. recon kit you should be able to pick up for under $400. if the shaft just has rust on it where the neutral start switch goes and that's why you want it out, don't bother, clean the rust off, smear grease all over it and put the switch back on.
and as mentioned, it's a t-30 from memory there's 13 bolts that hold the valve body on. make sure you unplug all the wires and get em out of the way before you undo those bolts or you'll probably damage the wiring.

Thanks all for replying. You all have been a grrreat help.
Yes I have to remove the shaft as the old one is that badly rusted it will not go onto the netural safty switch, it is to short.
Looks like I will have to take the trans out to complete the job.

you dont necessarly have to take the trans out to get the shaft
out.I do trans rebuilds and repairs and i can get the shaft out in the car
it is a bit fiddly but it can be done by someone who has a bit of patience and mechanical ability
